CFC installs industrial grade architectural steel security fencing for Jordan School District

Client: The Jordan School District in Utah serves over 52,000 students in southwest Salt Lake County.

Product: TITAN Fortress Architectural Fence by Fortress™

Project Details: The Jordan School District contracted with CFC for the installation of 4’ tall TITAN fencing. TITAN is the industrial grade line of fencing from Fortress™ at two of its schools: Hayden Peak Elementary and Eastlake Elementary.

The purpose of the fencing is to provide safety for the students by funneling the foot traffic to cross walks. Because there was no fencing previously across the drop off/pick up lane area, students were at risk because there was nothing to restrict from crossing anywhere along the lane. At Hayden Peak, approximately 360’ of fencing now provides protection around a green space between the traffic lane and the parking lot. There are only two locations where students and their parents or guardians can now access the parking lot. Both spaces have striping to further delineate pedestrian traffic. At Eastlake, we installed about 240’ of fencing with one opening directly across from the main doors outside the kindergarten area  of the school building. Again, this area has striping to define the walking zone.

The school district selected the Fortress product specifically because it is a heavy duty fence that provides the elegance of ornamental iron but with the advantage of multi-layered coatings to protect the fence from rusting. It also carries a 20-year warranty. CFC was selected as the installation contractor after reviewing bids from several companies. We are proud to have installed a project for the school district, especially as it relates to the safety of the students. If you are within the school district, take a look at the fencing when you get a chance. The product is also available in commercial and residential grades and is quite a bit more affordable than custom iron fencing. It also has the advantage of “racking” which means it can be adjusted to follow the grade of your property. In other words, no more “stair stepping” which creates gaps under portions of the fence.
